(When Mystery, Babylon is judged, the kings of the earth, and the merchants of the earth, safe enough from afar, both fear her torment:)
Revelation 18:10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.
Revelation 18:15 The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,
(Those two lines don't say fear of her judgment, or fear of her destruction, or fear of her burning, but specifically fear of her torment.They will know that the people there will be in great torment.Will that possibly be because of modern technology?Will there be live broadcasts going on still, just as the fire rages?Will cellphones be capturing the screams of pain, and images of burning people?)
(Will their burning transition to everlasting burning right before the eyes of those kings and merchants?)
Revelation 19:3 And again they said, Alleluia. And her smoke rose up for ever and ever.
(Could those people be witnessed transitioning from a momentary, physical burning, to an everlasting burning?So, that their torment is not over in a short time as they die, but transition to the everlasting type of burning, while they are still on their feet, before they all go to hell?And this is witnessed by the kings and merchants from far off, as mentioned in lines 10 and 15?So that they will fear her torment?)
(If so, could that provoke some of them, at least out of fear, to repent and believe on Jesus, before it is too late for them, also?)
